A Cleaner Space Made Easy


Selling your house involves a lot of consideration -- should you repaint? Replace any appliances? But one thing is for certain: when you let potential buyers into your home, the space needs to be clean.


Or maybe selling isn't your goal, and you just want a tidier space to enjoy for yourself (a very relatable struggle). Either way, a cleaner home is always a positive goal.


A fresh space doesn't always mean a new coat of paint and a change of decor. Here's how you can freshen things up -- from quick and easy steps to deep cleaning.

Sometimes it helps to start small. We've got a free and easy guide on how to make your space presentable (we focus on how to prep for home photography, but it's a great place to start for anyone who just wants a tidier space). Here are the most basic highlights:

For a more in-depth clean, there's a handy guide from Real Simple on what to clean and how to clean it. We'll pick just a few highlights below:


Clean your fridge

Remove expired items

Wipe down the interior with hot water and an all-purpose cleaner

Clean the exterior (all-purpose cleaner for enamel, distilled white vinegar for stainless steel)


Clean your mattress

Vaccuum your mattress with the hose attachment

Use baking soda to lightly dust the mattress and let it sit for about an hour

Vaccuum again to pick up baking soda and debris

If possible, flip your mattress and clean the other side


Clean your coffee maker

Fill your coffee maker with equal parts water and white vinegar and run its cycle

Fill your coffee maker with just water and run it again

Run one more cycle with just water -- it should now be rinsed and clean
